The bug on the cisco site appears to be:
CSCvb89733

We've implemented :

qos queue-softmax-multiplier 1200

And this has alleviated  the drops for the time being, by allocating more softmax, but hardmax remains at 120...

The bug says this is present in 16.3.3a, so not sure why we're getting it in 16.3.5b?

Hi All,

I am managing a number of 3850-24XS Catalysts, running Denali 16.3.5b.

These have 24 10Gig interfaces and they're seeing a large number of output discards on these.

The output of the following command shows the hardmax/softmax queues on the interface:

#show platform hardware fed switch active qos queue config interface te1/0/1

According to the following link about Troubleshooting Output drops on this platform these are the buffer values for a 1Gig interface?

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-3850-series-switches/200594-Catalyst-3850-Troubleshooting-Output-dr.html

Does anyone know whether there is a bug-id for this, and whether it is fixed in any Denali 16.3.x ?

In the document it specifies that:

The show command that can be used to see this allocation is ‘show platform qos queue config <interface>’.

For a 1Gig interface,

3850#show platform qos queue config gigabitEthernet 1/0/1
